ARTIST STATEMENT
I saw my own internal organs for the first time during an endoscopy at a medical check-up. I felt a sense of vitality and fascination from the color and luster of the organs I saw. I was inspired to create this work by the shapes of the organs, the mental image of digestion and the absorption of nutrients in the body, and the variety of functions performed by different organs. In this work, I expressed the way solid food is digested and the way the villi absorb nutrients.
